Teddy Roosevelt: The Man In The Arena at The Greenhouse Theater Center

Chicago Reader - Highly Recommended

"...Even if only for an hour or so, it was comforting to focus on tales of a ballbuster in the White House who threw his weight around on behalf of the common good; a chapter on Roosevelt's father pressuring wealthy investors with brute sentimental pressure to fund a hospital is particularly moving."

The Fourth Walsh - Highly Recommended

"..Much like the 26th President of the United States, Derek Evans’ personality fills the theatre. With a big booming voice and jovial presence, he greets the audience while gluing on a mustache and donning the familiar spectacles. The physical transformation is almost unnecessary because Evans embodies the rough rider, Theodore Roosevelt. The show plays out like a labor of love and admiration as Evans, writer/producer/performer, plays his hero."
